Welcome back! I needed a card to pick up my Sister-in-law’s spirits and I wanted to work it into the Coffee Blog Hop, so here is what I created…

Donut Worry – Coffee Helps Card

I used several of my coffee sets for this one. The background on the base is repeat random stamping utilizing stamps from Your Next Stamp – Coffee Rings and Newton’s Nook – Falling for You. I stamped the images in CTMHChampagne ink. The large coffee cup and donut were from Close To My Heart – Treats of Friendship.

Close up of Glazed Donut

My chocolate glazed donut was colored with alcohol markers, then I added the sprinkles using Nuvo Pearl Drops in pink and white. Once those dried, I put a thick layer of Glossy Accents over the glaze and voila!

I mounted the cup and donut onto a small piece of patterned paper from the Crazy for Coffee collection from Your Next Stamp and popped it up with foam tape. I spelled out “DONUT WORRY” using letters from an Authentique collection in my stash and mounted all of this onto a white card base.

Howdy Doo! Today on the Scrap The Boys Card Challenge the challenge was to use Black & White and one more color, I chose turquoise, plus this month’s sketch, which can be found Here, so head on over and link up your creation!

I have always LOVED black and turquoise together, I had this vision of a vintage car, and since turquoise is a very vintage car color, I thought it would work well for this project. The card is for my dad’s birthday and I know he will love the Route 66 reference as well as the cars.

STB Route 66 Card

The stamp set is Tim Holtz Stampers AnonymousRoad Trip, I stamped the vintage car three times in Peacock FeathersDistress Oxide ink onto turquoise cardstock. I die cut a large circle with the turquoise cardstock and embossed it with Tim HoltzRiveted Metal embossing folder. I die cut a slightly smaller black circle and embossed that one with the Tim Holtz Diamond Plate embossing folder. I layered them onto the black card base, added the strip with the cars on top. I stamped the Route 66 road sign and the sentiment “The Journey Is The Destination” in black onto white cardstock, heat embossed them and cut them out. I popped both of them up using foam tape. For the final touch on the outside I added Nuvo white enamel drops to a few spots.

The inside of the card was stamped using a combo of Simon Says Stamp and Close To My Heart stamps, I used the Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink on white cardstock and layered it onto a mat of turquoise.

Salutations, today I needed another Thanksgiving card and I wanted one that was centered on people gathering for a feast, so I thought of the Friends Feast Together set from Sunsational Stamps. It features Native Americans and Pilgrims, all holding a Thanksgiving dish. Think of it as a pot luck at Plymouth Rock 😉

Friends Feast Together

I used my distressed sun ray stamp from Tim Holtz that I have had for…ever. I stamped it with Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide ink onto a piece of sky blue cardstock. That was mounted onto patterned paper from my stash along with a strip of flip side of that patterned paper to form the “land” that anchored my people.

I printed out three of the images, colored them with my alcohol markers and cut them out. I popped the people up with foam tape to give it dimension. I added the words “Grateful, Memories & Together” from an Authentique sticker sheet and finished it off with some Nuvo Buttercup Yellow dots. The inside was simply stamped with “Giving Thanks”

Autumn greetings to you! Today I made a card for a thoughtful neighbor and dear friend. She not only treated me to a lovely afternoon coffee at our local coffee shop but she also treated my family to her pumpkin bread, which is TO DIE FOR! I thought it would be the perfect card to link up to the super fun Coffee Lover’s Bloghop for fall. #fall2017clh

As you can see I used Newton’s Nook stamps from two separate sets and stamped them with Ranger Archival Black ink onto water color paper. I used my Distress Markers to watercolor the images. I added a few Nuvo Pearl drops and mounted the watercolor panel onto two layers of Bazzill cardstock in two shades of brown, added some Maya Road self adhesive lace ribbon. I added a mat of Your Next StampCrazy For Coffee paper to a Bazzill card base, then I popped the watercolor layers up onto the card with foam tape and called it done!
